Temper Cartel- Babysitter

Indie four-piece have just released a new single ‘Babysitter’, jam packed with attitude. It has a perfectly put together intro with vocals comparable to the The Black Keys with a hint of The Kooks (you’ll see what I mean..). . The blend of delicate and gruff guitar riffs, that are becoming a signature sound for Temper Cartel, is clear in this track and it complimented by the heavier vocals and catchy repetition “down down down and get lost in the sound”.

Temper Cartel are known for their political and literature influences and in this track you can see this from the metaphorical devices cleverly used by front-man Josh, who seems to intertwine them in all the band’s tracks, “I don’t need a babysitter” relates to a controlling government, regarding the frustration of the last general election. For the video to accompany this track, they recruited 40 fans to make the child-esque trantrum style video.

Made up of Danny Fisher (lead guitar/arrangements), Josh Alden (rhythm/lead vocal/lyricist), Sam Alden (drums) and Everton Barbato (bass guitar), Temper Cartel have support from the likes of BBC6 Music and BBC Introducing as well as numerous indie music magazines. They have recently played with The Strypes and The Bluetones certainly making them a band to watch this upcoming year.
